Atlas day 2

Began with a late start with a gorgeous breakfast on the terrace looking over the mountains. Added what we thought was milk powder to my coffee- we still don’t know what it was. Watched my bag with all our passports ride off on a mule fingers crossed to be seen at our final destination. Began our walk through the valley of the mountains and through the actual river before climbing up a really really steep path. At the top we were given the long or short slippery option. We chose the short. Basically scrambled down the side of the mountain. Saw a snake and chipmunks. Arrived at our final destination to have another tagine for lunch followed by more games of cards.
We ventured back on the mini bus after being reunited with our bags. I got to sit up front between the guide and the driver while Fran and Lilah listened to Taylor swift in the back. We got stopped by the police twice and saw Richard Branson holiday home.
We arrived back in Marrakech and ventured into the Medina to try and find Lilah a hoodie to take to the desert tomorrow. The medina men tried to charge us £40 for a fake Nike hoodie and wouldn’t barter with us.
We got a new room at the hostel and found it all to ourselves. We got ready and headed to le Jardin for dinner. Houmous, bread, cheese parcels, couscous and fish meatball tagine yummy. We then realised we didn’t have enough cash to pay for our tour tomorrow so had to find an ATM in the dark in the Medina- not fun. Luckily there was one in a lovely square next to an ice cream shop so we had ice cream before returning to the hostel for a few games of cards and an early night before our 7 am start tomorrow.Read more
